"Cynthia, we're here on a trip. You can call me James, and he is Apollo," James introduced.

I nodded and hesitated to speak for fear that I would ask her a lot.

Sophia looked at me and James with a bright smile, just like before, beautiful and desirable.

James and she talked about life here.

She said she woke up with the salty breeze and made coffee every day, accompanied by the warm sun, and fell asleep in the moonlight.

Perhaps a comfortable life like this was exactly what she wanted.

"Apollo, why aren't you speaking? Is this coffee not to your taste?" Sophia asked.

Only then did I see that James had already finished half of his cup, while I hadn't taken a sip yet.

But I was a robot. How could I drink coffee like a human?

When James was about to explain to me, I shook my head gently.

I took a sip of the coffee. It tasted as bitter as the three years I had lost her.

At that moment, there seemed to be countless circuits in my body getting tangled up, and my face turned pale.

I endured it and forced out a smile.

"It's yummy, Cynthia. Thank you."

James looked at me as being such a fuckup and sighed heavily.

But I only felt warm.

At this moment, a man with bags of groceries rushed in at the door.

"Cynthia, Cynthia! It's heavy."

As soon as the man came in, he threw all the bags aside and ran straight towards Sophia.

He leaned against Sophia's shoulder. Sophia blushed lightly and shyly pushed him away.

"They're here."

The man finally noticed me and James and quickly sat up politely. His hand was still tightly connected with Sophia's.

Looking at their intimacy, I felt very uncomfortable.

Sophia has found her true love. Shouldn't I be happy for her?

"This is my fiancé, Kevin Smith. He's a bit clingy," Sophia said, while gently tapping Kevin's head.

Kevin nestled in Sophia's arms, looking like a bullied little boy.

They were a perfect match in everyone's eyes. As for me, I was just data without a soul.

I looked at Kevin with envy, whose position should have been mine. Now I was not qualified to hug her.

"Cynthia, I bought you some candy." Kevin took out candies from his pocket and handed them to Sophia.

"She..." My hand uncontrollably reached out.

I wanted to tell him that Sophia hated candies.

She had said that candies were so sweet that she would forget the bitterness in life.

But now she leaned over and bit the candy in Kevin's hand.

It turned out that if life was sweet, it didn't matter to eat a few candies.

"You have a good relationship," I gritted my teeth and said.

James frowned at me, as if afraid that I would do something.

Sophia listened to my words, a little stunned, and looked at Kevin with satisfaction.

"I had an accident three years ago. It was James who saved me and took me in. If it weren't for him, I would die."

Before I could continue to say something, James hurriedly pulled me away.

"We are new here and a bit tired. We'll come again."

I followed James out of the bar but still looked back reluctantly.

Perhaps others didn't notice the strangeness in Sophia's face, but I did.

She just forgot about me, but my name was still in her heart. I even thought that with a little more stimulation, she would know who I was.

"Enough, Apollo, what were you doing just now?"

When we arrived at the hotel, James scolded me.

I thought he probably figured out what I was thinking.

"I wanted to take Sophia away. She doesn't belong here. You know, she has an ambition."

I took Sophia's ambition as an excuse.

I opened the heavy suitcase and looked at the photos of me and Sophia inside.

I was slumped on the bed, memories about Sophia constantly flashing through my mind.

We had picked up scattered flowers in the rain and admired the rising sun.

All the past was deeply engraved in my heart, and I couldn't believe that Sophia could easily give up.

"Apollo, you're just a robot. Look, Sophia is already aging, but you are still the same as before. You can't overcome it." James persuaded me.

James' words pierced my heart.

As he said, we used to be the same age. But now we looked like siblings. In the future, we might even be grandmother and grandson.

As they say, Sophia was born before me, and I was born when she was already old.

"I understand, James." I gritted my teeth and said, driving James out of the room and squatting alone in the corner.

If one day I could shed tears, did that mean I was a human?

But I really couldn't let her go.

My program ordered me to protect Sophia. So I couldn't leave her forever.
